Brits Celebrate LGBT Month With Special School Lessons For All Ages

Is it politically incorrect to say I find this whole thing a little queer?

Lesson plans have been drawn up for pupils as young as four, in a scheme funded with a £35,000 grant from an education quango, the Training and Development Agency for Schools.

The initiative will be officially launched next month at the start of "LGBT History Month" – an initiative to encourage teaching about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual issues.

The lesson plans, spread across the curriculum, will be offered to all schools, which can choose whether or not to make use of them.

But critics last night called the initiative a poor use of public money which could distract from the teaching of "core" subjects.

Among the suggestions are:

Maths – teaching statistics through census findings about the number of homosexuals in the population, and using gay characters in scenarios for maths problems;

Design and technology – encouraging pupils to make symbols linked to the gay rights movement;

Science – studying animal species where the male takes a leading role in raising young, such as emperor penguins and sea horses, and staging class discussions on different family structures, including same-sex parents;

Geography – examining the transformation of San Francisco's Castro district in the 1960s from a working-class Irish area to the world's first "gay neighbourhood", and considering why homosexuals move from the countryside to cities;

Languages – using gay characters in role play scenarios, and teaching "LGBT vocabulary".

And it isn't just in Britain. This kind of stuff is regularly pushed in California schools as well. It's all part of the indoctrination effort to convince children that activities engaged in by 3 or 4 percent of the population is the new normal.

What I don't notice in their plans is a study of how self-destructive gay behavior led to the rapid spread of AIDS and millions of deaths worldwide, or a study of how political correctness has crept into the law in Britain and elsewhere thus making criticism of gay lifestyles or activities punishable crimes.
